Mrs. Augusta ' Siob. who masqueraded ' in men 8 clothing for nine years in New York, 'working as a waiter in leading Jiau' battan hotels, and ftbose identity was only revealed through beat prostrat- tion on the Fourth -of July, has re .tained a well-known lawyer to ob 'tain an injunction against the police restraining theni from interfering with her in her travels about New ? York Gty. Mrs. Sieh wkp was com monly known as "Gus""when she wore men's attire, finds her predica ment more troublesome than was her task in concealing the fact that she was a woman. Since, her release from Roosevelt Hospital, and her subse quent sentence of five days on Black well's Island for her escapade, Mrs. Sieb has been intercepted by the po lice several times a day. . Her identity being known, she can no longer wear a man's suit without being arrested, and inasmuch as she looks more like a man than a woman, even when she wears women's cloth ing, she has been detained on several occasions under suspicion of being a man masquerading in women's cloth ing. She finds, it difficult to move about the city in any attire except a man's suit, and to avoid detention when she wears ber own clothing she will ask for an injunction to keep the police away from her. Three times during the pa.st week "Ous" has been held up in the street in different parts of the city, and re leased only after considerable trou ble. Yesterday she was held up on a Brighton Beach train in Brooklyn, whlie on her way to a seaside vaude ville show, where she has been engag ed for the past week. She has lcu late for her performance every day on account of the police activity, and, fearing the result of further harassin by the police, she has made up her mind to appeal to the courts for a re straining seasv. . , "It is a shartte that I am continual ly Bothered;" said Mrs. Sieb. "I wore men's clothing to And my husband, and to get employment in a man 's ca pacity, and now that I wear clothes like any other woman, I can't walk along the" street without being molesl ed: Because my face looks more like a man's than a woman's, I am grab bed and held until I prove my story. I can't wear men's clothing; without arrest, until I get proper permission, ; nor ean-i wear ''women's clothing without being taken for a man. What am I going to dot I want to live as a ' man the res,t of my life, and I hope that the necessary proceedings -to let me do so will soon be completed." Farmer' Institute-.

Lassiter, . :' In Reply to a Circular Issued by the National Association of Mannfac turers Mr. Bryan Declares That the Creation of a Labor Department, as Provided For In the " Democratic Platform, Cannot Offend Business Men. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 6. William J Bryan issued a statement replying to a circular issued some weeks ago by the National association of Manufac turers and signed by James W. Van Cleave. Mr. Bryan declares that the pam phlet of Mr. Van Cleave raises two questions: First, is there anything in the labor plank of the Democratic platform to which business men can justly take exception, and second, is the labor question so important to business men as to justify them in ignoring all other issues? Mr. Bryan declares that the provis ion in the Democratic platform for the creation of a labor department with a Cabinet officer at its head can not possibly offend business men. He then says: "The platform draws a distinction between associations of wag.i earn ers organized for the protection of wages and the improvement of labor conditions and industrial corporations which act in restraint of trade. The difference between a labor organiza tion and a trust is so apparent that no disinterested person will deny that they should be treated separately. To class the two kinds of organizations together and deal with. them, under one law is bound, to do injustice to one or the other. The business men can have no vital concern in includ ing the labor organizations in the an ti-trust laws." Mr. Bryan then takes up the plank providing for trial by jury in eases of indirect contempt. He insists that this cannot raise a question of vital concern to business men, because ev ery man has a right to a jury trial. lie then says: "An attempt has been made to raise a . false, issue in regard to the courts and to make it appear that the demand for trial by jury is -nn assault upon the. integrity of the courts. Those who make this argument might as well insist on the abolition of the jury in all cases, for the jury system itself is just as much a reflection up on Ihe bench as is this demand for trial by jury in these particular cases. "But there is another labor plank that. Mr. Van Cleave probably has in mind. This is the plank that de clares that' parties to all judicial-proceedings should be treated with rigid impartiality, and that an injunction should .not issue in any case in which an injunction would not lie if no in dustrial dispute were involved. Do the business men -insist upon partial ity in judicial proceedings T Do they insist that the mere fact that there is an industrial dispute should justify an injunction f That plank does not attempt, to interfere with the is sue of an injunction where other con ditions justify it, but it does oppose the issue of an injunction merely for the purpose of bringing the court in to the discussion of an industrial dis pute. "'Mr. Van Cleaveasserts that this plank rouses a class spirit,' and con stitutes a demand for 'class favors' but this is not true. It is a declara tion that the writ of injunction should not be nsed for the purpose of creat ing a elass or favoring a class. The laboring men: resent' an attempt to discriminate against them in favor of any other elass. I. Mr. Bryan . in conclusion declares that Mr. Van Cleave does the business man an injustice in seeming that his waking hours are filled with fears of the wage earner and that his night ' rest is broken by imaginary disputes with those who toil. . , A RUNAWAY MATCH. Elopement and Marriage of Miss L--., la Sloop and Mr. George Klutts, of "Rowan County. '.'" -"'' V Salisbury, Aug. 6. Miss Lula Sloop and Mr. George Kluttx, two prominent younjjf people of the county, eloped yesterday afternoon and were married at the Lutheran parsonage at Frank lin, four miles from Salisbury, at 8 :30. o'eloek last night, the .Rev. B R. Sowers, officiating.-, Immediately af ter their marriage the Couple went to the borne of Mr. Jesse Klutta, the groom's father, in eastern Rowan. The bride is an accomplished young woman and has taught school for sev eral 3-pars. Mr. Klutta is one of the best farmers of the county. No par ental objections existed to his atten tions to bis bride and her familv Cold Water Lodge of Odd Fellows Entertained at a Reception Last Night An Address on "Fraternal ism" by Mr. S. J. Durham Re freshments Served. Cold Water Lodge, No. C2, Inde pendent Order of Odd Fellows, held a reception in the Pythian building last night,' which was largely attended by a number of invited guests, includ ing many -ladies. The meeting con vened at 8 o'clock, Mr. J. M. Burrage being master of ceremonies, and after a brief aduress of welcome, the for malities were laid aside for the re mainder of the evening. First on the programme was a solo, rendered by Miss Vernie Blume, with organ and violin accompaniment by Mrs. Cook and Dr. Reed. Miss Blume has a sweet voice, and the singing was very much enjoyed. This number was fol lowed by a recitation by Miss Mary Ilendrix, who is inimitable in expres sion. Dr. John F. Reed rendered a beautiful violin solo, followed by a song by Mr. Charles A. Cook, who chose for his number the familiar old song "Six Feet of Earth Makes Us All of One Size." At the conclu sion of the musical programme, Mr. Burrage then introduced to the audi ence- Mr. S. J. Durham, of Bessemer City, who spoke for thirty minutes on "Oddfellowship. " His remarks werr well directed to the members of the lodge, but they were well fitted foi tne general iraternal sentiment so strong in the various secret orders ol the day. Mr. Durham came in ans wcr to an invitation to address the dge and bad prepared a speech foi Odd Fellows, not being aware that adies were to be in attendance. Hr was therefore placed at a little disad vantage amd was compelled to modif his talk to suit the occasion after reaching the lodge room. When he had finished his masterful talk, an in termission of five minutes was taken before refreshments were served. The evening was a most pleasant one and will awaken interest in Oddfellowship if the .reraarkjuof the visiting speak ers are heeded. Cold Water Lodge is one of the oldest lodges in the State and has an enrolled membership of Mil). The present officers of the lodge are: C. A. Cook, N. G.; D. M. Ross, V. O.; C. J. Williams, Sec; J.

WILL SHOW HITCHCOCK. That New England is a Good Field for Democrats. New Haven, Conn., August 6. Alexander Troup, president of the New England Democratic Progressive League, today issued a call for the vice-presidents and members of the executive committee of the League to meet at the Quiney House, Boston, Tuesday, August 11, "to take into consideration the political situation in New England and devise ways and means for propaganda work." The call says:- - v "There should be active work throughout New England and it should commence at onee." ' In issuing the call Mr. Troup said : "Chairman Hitchcock,, of . the Re publican National Committee, has stated that New England was all right for the Republican ticket ; that it-did not need any attention; that, work would be centered in the West and the Middle West. It is our intention to make Mr. Hitchcock divide his work between the "East and the West, in stead of permitting him to concent trate his efforts in the West We in tend to show him that New England is a good field for the Democrats. .Ai rangements are being made to bring into New England Democratic speak ers of national prominence, and from the middle to the end of August these speakers will canvass Vermont from end to. end in- order to reduce to a minimum the Republican majority at the State election there. We are not so bold as to say that w hope to make the State Democratie, but, we are going to get to the polls every Democrat and every independent vot er who believes in the prineiples of Democracy." The-condition of Master Johnny Morrison is thought to be somewhat better. Fever has shout left the Virginia Bar Association Treated to an Address by the Republican Nominee and Cheers Him Through out its Deliverance. Hot Springs, Va., Aug. 6 There was no reservation in the Southern hospitality accorded William H. Taft by the Virginia State Bar Association here today on the occasion of the address of the Republican candidate on "The Laws' Delay." His presence and introductory pdeasantries were applauded by an audience representa tive of the social life of the lawyers present. At his conclusion Mr. Taft was surrounded by members of the audience who presented themselves for personal acquaintance. At the banquet tonight Mr. Taft responded to the toast "The President." Mr. Taft prefaced his forty-minute speech today by expressing the embarrass ment he felt in appearing before a rVirginia audience. This he made clear by this anecdote: "As I was entering the hall here today I was introduced to a very- charming daughter of Virginia, a married lady, of whom I inquired on hearing her name, which was a Vir ginia name, whether she was a rela tive of a friend of my own from Vir ginia who bore the same name. 'Ob, no,' she replied, 'my poor husband is a Yankee.' " The story seemed to remove the judge's embarrassment. Judge Taft said in his address "there are abundant evidences that the prosecutions of criminals have not been certain and thorough to the point of preventing popular protest. The existence of lynching in all parts of the country is directly traceable to this lack of uniformity and thoroughness in the enforcement of our criminal laws." He added: "1 venture to think that one evil which has not attracted the attention of the community at larfie, but which is likely to grow in importance as the inequality between the poor and the rich in our civilization is studied, is in the delay of the administration of justice between individuals." Mr. Taft continued: "The in equality that exists in our present ad ministration of justice and that soon er or later is certain to rise and trou ble us, and to call for popular con- lemnation and reform, is in the un equal burden which the delays aud expense of litigation under our sys tem imposes on the poor litigant." One remedy, ho said, would he more expedition on the part of judges in rendering their opinions. Mr. Taft said another irritation at nequalities in our administration of justice may be reduced by the intro- 1 net ion of a system for the settle ment of damage suits brought by em ployes against public service cor porations through arbitration without resort to jury trials. "We cannot of course dispense with the jury system," he said. "It is that which makes the people a part of the administration of justice but every means by which in civil case litigants may be induced volun tarily to avoid the expense, delay, and burden of jury trials, ought to be encouraged." Tomorrow Judge Taft, with Mrs. Taft, General Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the insular-bureau of the War Department, and W. Cameron Forbes, Vice Governor of the Philip pines, will be driven by Ttate Sterrett, proprietor of the famous Fassifern farm, to White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., to attend the Greenbrier county borse show. The 40-mile drive will be made with three relays of four horses each, the last team to be en tered in the show upon arrival there in the afternoon.
